Some cracked up 4-year-old version of this sung in a sing-song voice:

“I am slowly going crazy
One two three four five six, switch!
Crazy going slowly am I
Six five four three two one, switch!”

Instructions found on internet kids’ site read:
“Repeat it over and over and over until your head explodes, or somebody forces you to stop. ”

Um yep that’s about right!

I counter-attack by putting on a Scottish accent and calling her (my niece) PERRRRRR-Snickety. This makes her scream “I am NOT snickety!”

This is met with a formidable combo of: the Spongebob Squarepants theme song and chatter about various kitty cats she knows and whether they have claws and whether or not they are nice and whether or not they can jump high.

For the grand final I pretend I have gone deaf and make smacking noises on my lips. I am defeated by a tongue lololololol-ing and fingers in the ears.

My husband will be lucky to find either of us sane by the end of the day. I hope he’s ready to take us to Chuck-E-Cheese and spend ridiculous amounts of money for skee-ball games….oh and whatever games my niece wants to play.
